I am not a car person. The only thing I care about with a vehicle is if it can get me from point A to point B without too much grief. Other than that, I don't care the make, the model, the size, the color-----WHATEVER!

My hubby ( who is also not much more of a car guy than me! ) bought this old Chevy truck from the local fire dept. last year in an auction with the hopes of turning it into a decent hauling and farm vehicle. He and a friend put a lot of work into it last summer. They repainted it from white with fawn decals ( Fawn Grove Fire Dept. ) to army green. I immediately christened it "Sherman, the Tank" after that. And then hubby decided to be cute and put in big red letters a certain SOMETHING on the back tailgate at Halloween.

Through circumstances beyond my control, Sherman has become my commuter vehicle. Since then I can't sneak anywhere! I get noticed everywhere I go as the lady in scrubs and shades driving the "zombie truck". The guy at the local feed store had to take pics with him standing next to the truck, I have people tailgating me ( when I dare to take it out on the highway! ) to take pics of the back bumper and I had a teen-ager walking down the sidewalk, strumming his flying V guitar, scream out to me yesterday, "Your truck is friggin' AWESOME man!"

Made my day!

Do I mind? You decide.

I think it's fantastic! When you wanna sell it, let my (grown) children know. They would love to be the next "Zombiebusters" :).

I love your husband's sense of humor :).
 
That is awesome!!!
I just wish you took a picture of you in your lady scrubs and shades next to it!! LOL
 
i would ride in it. u need to add some stuff to it tho like a gun rack, put some picks in the back standing up and maybe an ax or something. add some spikes to the front bumper to speer the vombies too. u got to go all out it would be freakin sweet then
 
Yeah, the truck has its quirks. It has no radio so the only music you have while you drive is the sound of that loud, diesel engine. It doesn't like to go above 50 so I avoid the highway whenever possible. It belches black smoke whenever I start it up. It takes two times zones to turn it around and narrow roads make me nervous. And parking it is a B***H! We had to take the sirens off when we bought it ( Bummer! ) and the light bar off the top to be legal. People who like environmentally smart cars hate it. ( So I drive it through the 'burbs just to piss them off! ) And whenever my hubby drives it after dark, a fuse blows and all the lights go out. ( That's NEVER happened to me! Sherman likes tomboys! ) But its loaded with personality and I love it!

Drey has threatened to put it in a Halloween parade somewhere next year with red, paint ball spatters all over it and a zombie in a cage in the bed. We're also gonna have a crew of zombie hunters dressed in camoflage and sub machine guns or fishing poles with brains on the hooks to catch the zombies.

Sound good?
